<p>These maps are scanned from a personal collections built up by Richard
Fairhurst, Mike Cakder, Nick Burch and Andrew Rowbottom (plus the odd map 
from other contributors).
They are the result of several years' scavenging in second-hand
bookshops! Some are canvas, some folded paper, some flat; some are the
of the new ones are Seventh Edition, most are New Popular Edition proper,
but a few are War Office editions, or Scottish Popular Edition. 
These are scans of real, used documents, not a pristine 
'for the record' collection.</p>
